Calcification is the principal cause of the clinical failure of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV). Calcification occurs through an interaction of host and implant factors, mainly younger age and glutaraldehyde pretreatment, respectively. The hypothesis of this work was that an impaired balance betwee
